Things good to know before you consider volunteering in Auroville and Blue Light

Our Projects

Blue Light provides you with an office environment and if you don't come with your laptop with a computer. We have quite a mixed bunch of people around so that we learn from each other. Depending on the project a 3 to 6 months commitment is expected.

Part of the job is to get into contact with Aurovilians and assess their computing needs. This is a great way to dive deeper into Auroville, how it works, how daily life looks like ...
We are using as much Open Source software as possible. This means researching Open Source projects, installing this software on test computers, getting in contact with the developers or the community if needed and finally introduce it into working environments (offices)and train users.
We require proper documentation of what you do here since you are not staying with us forever (but who knows ... ).

We are looking for programmers to create software that helps the Auroville Services to assist them through their work flows. This software can be written in PHP or Java. Knowledge in MySQL and databases is required. Here as well we request proper documentation.
